Many restaurants have tight kitchen quarters, cramped back rooms, crowded prep areas and cluttered hallways — obstacles that make it difficult to run a smooth service. However, your facility may not have storage space for extra equipment, bulk food ingredients or seasonal patio furniture. On-site restaurant storage solutions provide the fastest and most cost-effective way to regain control of your back-of-house operations.
Expand Your Footprint Without Costly Renovations
One way to solve your storage issue is to expand the footprint of your restaurant, making the kitchen bigger and adding on storage space. However, permanent construction has many drawbacks — the up-front costs are high, permits may be delayed and downtime is inevitable.
Storage containers provide extra storage for restaurants, offering a faster and more cost-effective alternative to permanent construction to address your strained capacity limits. By renting a container, your restaurant can:
- Have a predictable, flat monthly rental rate.
- Avoid the downtime and disruption of construction.
- Secure instant storage for seasonal patio furniture, nonperishable bulk goods and more.
Storage containers provide a near-immediate return on your investment — instead of taking on a massive capital expense, you’ll have a manageable operating expense.
Secure On-Site Storage Beats Off-Site Facilities
When permanent construction isn’t feasible, some restaurants search for existing storage facilities. Off-site storage can be a hassle. Instead of prepping ingredients and serving customers, your staff must drive to a remote storage yard to access inventory. Paying wages and reimbursing mileage for supplies retrieval can be a financial burden on your business.
Getting on-site restaurant storage containers directly on your property can save hours of weekly labor and transportation costs. Having inventory readily available just steps from your restaurant is more convenient. With ground-level access, staff can quickly get the supplies they need during peak hours to keep service going.
Protect High-Value Inventory and Bulk Purchases
Food and beverage ingredients can be one of your restaurant’s biggest expenses. As food costs continue to rise, many restaurant owners and purchasing managers choose to buy nonperishable ingredients and dry goods in bulk. However, limited storage in your restaurant can make bulk purchases difficult.
Expanding your footprint with an on-site storage container makes it possible to take advantage of bulk buying. Restaurant storage container rentals from Eagle Leasing feature weatherproof steel construction, keeping your nonperishables safe from rain, wind and pests. You can equip your container with our patented 13-pound Eagle Lock® to give you peace of mind that your inventory is protected from shrinkage or theft.
Find Practical Restaurant Equipment Storage Ideas With Eagle Leasing
Particularly during the winter months, your restaurant needs a safe and protected storage area for bulky seasonal items, such as outdoor patio furniture, outdoor fans and promotional signage. In addition, storing unused kitchen equipment and dining room furniture — like fry baskets, catering chafing dishes or extra chairs — may require a separate storage area to reduce cross-contamination risk and comply with health codes.
At Eagle Leasing, we have open side containers available for rent. These containers have full-length doors on one side wall and standard doors at one end, making them highly accessible for bulky catering equipment and extra prep stations. These units are also weather-resistant, so they can protect your valuable assets until next spring or summer. With your extra equipment in the container, your indoor kitchen remains compliant and safe.
